Every year OTA sponsors a sock drive for the homeless kids at the StandUp For Kids Center here in San Diego. This year our sock drive will be from December 4th through December 15th.

We are asking our OTA families to be generous in helping these kids whose homes are the streets of San Diego. Every year OTA has delivered several hundred pairs of socks to the Center to be distributed to the homeless kids. These kids depend on us to help them and to make this holiday season special for them.

This year we are having a free dress day incentive for the classes to collect socks. Each class will be given a large trash bag to fill with socks. Every class that fills a bag will have a free dress day for the entire class after the holidays.

Please bring in packages of new athletic socks throughout the sock drive to help fill the class bags. The Principal=E2=80=99s Advisory Committee is spearheading this project and will be in all the classrooms encouraging students to bring in socks.

Get into the spirit of giving this holiday season and help OTA make a difference in the lives of these young children.

Thank you for helping OTA make the holidays special for the homeless kids at the StandUp for Kids Center.
